Am I the only one around here

AlpineSwift · 02-03-2014, 02:15 PM

That has a RAGING BONER for the new Maserati Ghibli?!

AlpineSwift · 02-03-2014, 02:16 PM

Exhaust

KingOfJericho · 02-03-2014, 02:34 PM

It looks like an Infiniti...

swanson · 02-03-2014, 02:35 PM

Its sound ok, but thats it.

Cuz5150 · 02-03-2014, 02:40 PM

Its a great car, you wouldn't catch me buying one new. I'll pick a pre-owned one in 3yrs for $19,999.

Billup · 02-03-2014, 02:54 PM

I think you are the only one with the "raging boner" in here, sir.

Now leaving softer than expected.

This exactly!

hellrotm · 02-03-2014, 03:11 PM

It is ok. Wouldn't really look twice at it if I saw it on the road.

Quoted for truth.

I saw one parked on the street. It was dark blue, and when I saw it, it was early evening. At first I thought it was a Maxima , then I noticed the Maserati badge.

The interior is very nice for sure, but outside it is very much like a Nissan / Infiniti. It's not a bad looking car, but it doesn't look special either.

secretsquirrel · 02-03-2014, 05:42 PM

Ghibli? WTF is that? Thanksgiving gravy? Oh, you mean the Quattroporte?

Its very cool, but unpractical for me. I don't want my sedan having a Ferrari engine (with the maint costs involved).

If you're going to get a Maserati, get a Maserati. (You know what I mean)

flipmeraz · 02-03-2014, 09:45 PM

Driven a few of these at work. Not a big fan of the exterior. Interior is ok. Power isn't too bad if you get the 400hp version.

P1 · 02-03-2014, 11:22 PM

You accidentally posted picture of an Audi A6 (third picture).

Hisam135i · 02-04-2014, 12:38 AM

It looks extremely bloated.

Efthreeoh · 02-04-2014, 06:53 AM

I had a raging boner over a Mercedes once, but she was an actual woman, not a car. Just sayin'

Nkc · 02-04-2014, 08:28 AM

doesn't take much to get this guy hard...

BMW269 · 02-04-2014, 09:15 AM

When I see how many are having an iron boner for the 4er GranCoupé...

py0413 · 02-04-2014, 11:45 AM

Not bad overall but will this spend more time in the service department than on the road? A frd who's a mechanic engineer from UK said once, when he was in college, their instructor told them ferrari builds cars that ain't meant to be used on a daily base. If you do, it's like putting rocks into a blender and asking to destroy it.

I didn't know if it was a joke or not and I still don't know now.

AlpineSwift · 02-04-2014, 12:33 PM

I had a feeling there would be a lot of haters. I love this board.

I just think for Maserati's first attempt at a segment they've never been in before, they definitely could have done way worse. It's the first mid size car outside of BMW I'd even consider, and that's saying a lot for me personally because I didn't think anything outside of BMW for any segment was worth even considering.

Again, personal belief, F$#% anything that isn't a BMW...except the Ghibli.

fndrsn · 02-11-2014, 01:25 PM

I personally love the car, after the XF it's easily the best looking car in its class, plus it's a Maserati so +1981236912
